mfunc44.mac has a typo in 4.82

Post by cryptonym »

In 4.80, the sentences reads correctly.

One example of many:
"The PLC input entered into parameter 44 is invalid."

In 4.82 it looks like a global search/replace changed every "is" to "in":
"The PLC input entered into parameter 44 in invalid.

Spotted it while diffing my old files for a new install.

Add mfunc76 to the list. I was helping another user edit this macro and noticed that in the notes at the top it tells you to "Change the offset values (distance from laser to center of spindle) below on line 33 and 34 to eliminate the operator prompt for offest distance" and those values are not on line 33 and 34. Also, the word "offset" is misspelled on line 6 as you see in the previous sentence as I copied and pasted the text from the macro. And the word "location" is also misspelled on line 3.

yeah M76 with v4.99 uses parameters to hold the offset values instead of hard coding them in the macro itself.
you can now set the offset distance in the new Wizard for the laser offset distance, so you don't have to edit the macro any more to set an offset.

Yup, I saw the offset settings in the wizard in 4.82 but we did a custom laser macro that's different than the stock one. I still used parameter 560 and 561 so the wizard settings work for him. I was just pointing out the misspellings and line number references that are not correct.
